A work gang in the pit, Reich Labour Service 1937

At the edge of a tall spruce wood, a group of young men works in the bottom of a broad gravel excavation, some bare to the waist, digging and loading barrows; above them on the rim a man pushes a wheelbarrow along a plank, and a concrete marker stands at the corner of the pit. Work in the service was paid with pocket money of twenty-five pfennigs a day, and the machinery was mostly muscle.
